Sorry, boss......You have been proven incorrect twice recently....

"Californios" population as well as the major source of illegal aliens

not a hypothesis

good night,,,,,
I wasn't "proven" incorrect...

You don't understand, just leave it at that. Otherwise you wouldn't have posted this.

Good luck.

This sentence itself proves you clearly don't understand...since you haven't proven anything. Except that you would rather TRY to dismiss an argument than gain new knowledge.

The second part (major sources of illegal immigrants)? Huh? I even stated this to try to HELP you with your outdated numbers. As a means to try to reconcile the discrepancy seen with newer numbers and older numbers...once again not proven wrong (for two reasons, even stated that this was simply an observation and a hypothesis...and secondly you haven't come up with any other valid idea).

Again...if you don't understand ask or look it up.

No sir. Many have a green card or are American citizens like me.

And those folks whose heritage is from SoB are US citizens; not Mexicans.

I am 99.9% sure that in another post or topic you referred to yourself as an immigrant. If you are a U.S. citizen then you aren't an immigrant.

What? What is wrong with you people with all these attacks? Have you ever heard of Foreign born naturalized USA citizens? We immigrate, get our permanent residence (green card) and after 5 years Later we apply for citizenship.We can also keep our Mexican citizenship.(dual citizenship) Not everybody is an anchor baby or illegal. Get a grip and discuss the topic instead of making personal attacks. Good grief!

Considering that it takes *minimum* $1,000 to get a work visa, IF there is a bonafide job available that ONLY the Mexican person can fill and ALL of the proper paperwork has been completed; I don't think that many of these day labor type latinos are in a financial position to pay that kind of money.

Not to even take into consideration the $10,000 that my Canadian husband and I paid to get him a "green card" so that he could work here legally without a work visa.

I wanna say...... uh uh......the overwhelming majority of them are here illegally.

Look at the numbers, not your gut instinct.

It is a personal attack to call a U.S. citizen a citizen rather than an immigrant? How so? What do anchor babies or illegals have to do with it? Once you become a citizen you are no longer an immigrant and that was my point.

This person can't read it as anything other than a negative.
